Into Amatuer Radio?  Me too.  Find me on the W8ODR (Ohio Digital Radio Club) repeaters or if you're in the Toledo area I monitor the TMRA D-Star Repeater (444.750 - Port B) or the TMRA Analog Repeater 147.270/442.850.  Or you can try to contact me via Simplex on 145.670 which I monitor.  You can also find me on 20 or 40 meters outside the area.  My FCC Call Sign is N8ZAK.

And failing all that - you can contact me via methods used in "generations past" at this link which contains mail and phone information.

What more information on the Burns Family?

What Is With That Shirt? - It's an inside joke in our family.  If you've ever watched NYPD Blue you'd see that this is my Detective Sipowicz shirt - also popularized by Homer Simpson in an episode of The Simpsons....no I was never a high school math teacher!  (And no, I'm not missing an arm! - Just a proud American that stinks at Photoshop!)
